'Bout Time

8 Comments:

That defiantly does not remind me of wakeups on my old boat. We either had Baby Doc, our jr. corpsman, climb into your rack if you didnt wake up, to the nav div flashlight that was as bright as the sun.

So is this now like one of those weird Japanese cartoons where they ride around in big robots? I thought they were just wearing spacesuits but now it seems like Keane is strapped into some sort of cockpit.

I remember on the 612 we turned the whole centerline passageway into a stowage bin. I had one of the primo bunks way up in the overhead, but I had to climb over the stores to get into it. Sometimes I wouldn't hear the 1MC irt "field day" etc. I told the COB that I would be sure to get up if he would bring me a cup of coffee for a wakeup. A week or so later He ripped open my curtain, put a hot cup right on my chest, and said, "Time to get up, Mac"He didn't have to deliver any more coffee!
